Basically what the title says. I have issue with my reloads extracting without firing them, weather it occurs from a dud load or if I chamber a round and then do not fire it I cannot get them out of the chamber without alot of cussin' and frustration from me. I've tapped them out with a cleaning rod from the muzzle end, not a good idea I know, dug a trench with the butt stock and pryed the bolt carrier back to remove the rounds from the chamber. Those removed by tapping the bolt carrier back come out about .05" +/- longer than they went in. Seems like the bullets are jumping into the rifling just enough to get good and stuck.
What could be causing this? Is my brass just not holding the bullets as I suspect?
All of my loads are to the data given in the Hornady manual, tapper crimp is as far as I can safely go to my knowledge, .474 at the mouth. I've even tried undersizing the mouth with a 45 acp sizing die to the depth the bullet will be seated in the case, running it thorough the expander die seating and then crimping with the same results.
I don't want to give up this rifle but the frustration it's causing me makes me want to clamp the barrel in my bench vise and bend it at a 90 degree angle.
Can anyone help me trouble shoot this issue? insite from more experienced people is always appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
